Facebook Facts & Figures (history & statistics) Take Back Your Data with voyURL by Adam C Leibsohn. Some Press: TechCrunch - PSFK - NY TImes The Good Stuff voyurl gives you visibility over the data you create when you use the web. If you donate, we'll put your name on a dedicated page of the site. So have a URL in mind, and we'll link out to you as part of our thanks for your generosity.

Hi! We're a few guys in New York City–all from different backgrounds–who have come together through a shared commitment to changing the way the social web handles the data we all create. So What Does voyurl Do? Voyurl allows users to keep track of and share their clickstreams in real-time. Wouldn't you rather have a recommendation engine powered by shared interests and friends instead of a mystical search algorithm?

Why Does voyurl Do It? We love the web. We love the way a lot of it works... but we love some parts of it more than others. In particular, we have a hard time dealing with the fact that most of the services we use exploit the data we create. This a problem. Who is voyurl For? If you... Adam Dennis Zach. Triumph of the Design Haters: After Facebook and Tropicana, Whose Redesign Is Next to Go? In a simpler time, design wasn't harsher than a mixed-martial arts event. In the olden days, say three years ago, companies would order their new logos and new-and-improved packaging from their design fortresses on high, and the lowly customers below would quietly accept the blobby, 3D-textured versions of once-beloved logos without complaint.

No more of course, as we've seen all too clearly in the last month with Facebook's reconsideration of its new look his week after a whopping 94% of users gave a thumbs down to the redesign, and Tropicana yanking its new packaging created by the Arnell Group after the primary customer reaction was that their grocery had introduced a generic store-brand O.J. and where was the orange with the straw in it?

Thanks to social media, everyone, from design mavens to cranky consumers, makes up an angry, torch-wielding mob ready to storm the design-firm walls demanding their old logos back. So who's next to fall before the angry mob? Gap Redesign Contest. Editor’s note – In answer to some of the questions in the comments: This contest is not for Gap. We are not affiliated with Gap. Gap has nothing to do with this contest. This is for fun, not Gap. Gap will not be using any of these logos.
